The Road to Utopia is Paved with Bad Actions

There are those amongst us who have self determined that they know best how those around them must live in pursuit of a perfect world. There are other amongst us who have self determined that the party of the first part are correct and are willing to follow them. It must also be noted that approximately 49% of the population has an IQ of less than 100, for this is a statistical truism. 

Authors Note: 'Utopia' comes from the Greek ‘ou-topos’ meaning 'no place' or 'nowhere'

Historically, it seems that the leaders of these utopia seekers have latched onto a sly economic strategy. Countries are often ranked by GDP/Capita; the cunning plan executed by the leaders of the Utopia seekers is quite simple, kill a large swath of the population after they have done a whole lot of work. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) can be increased by exporting the goods a country makes, of course if you sell so much of the country’s grain to buy machinery people will starve – USSR. GDP can also rise if you increase production, returning to the IQ situation, someone in a position of power who has no knowledge or experience may assume that birds are eating the crops, and then after the order to exterminate the birds, the insects without a natural predator flourished and devoured the crops – China. Another option in the effort towards providing a high GDP score is to reduce internal costs; this was achieved by killing off the intellectuals and the doctors – Cambodia. 

‘That wasn’t real communism’, is a statement often heard when the actions of the USSR, China and Cambodia are brought under criticism. This author must admit that there is a scale under which the principles of communism work, and that scale is small. The nuclear family unit is the best example of communism at work, from each what they can give and unto each what they need, perfectly provides the parent to child relationship, two other examples of where communism works are a monastery or a nunnery. While the power dynamic in these two situations are different, the key is voluntary intent. Within the parent-child dynamic the parents do the work in support of the child all the while slowly ratchet up the responsibility and in the commune environment, once again the laborers step up voluntarily and personal efforts are consented to. They do not see their life as one of drudgery, just as good parents don’t.  

Super abundance comes with fantastic problems when coupled with a very robust safety-net. While there will always be a percentage of any population that will want to protest, what are needed to be taken note of is the population percentage, and the topic of, and the damage done within any protest. When a society has a cornucopia of nearly everything, people in other societies will want to partake in that feast, and once the safety-net is universally applied to anyone standing on a country’s soil; this concoction creates two basic outcomes, if not more; these primary outcomes are: an inrush of the impoverished, and a debt spiral that will cripple the country’s economy.  The tide that raises all boats will have been made stagnate and those countries that suffer brain-drain will remain poor.

At the time of this writing, the GDP/Capita mandate has been abandoned in favour of a new directive with the introduction of ESG, ESG stands for Environment, Social, and Governance. ESG is a score based system for companies that regulates if a company will or will-not have access to funding, low interest rates for a loan, or an actual investment consideration. Company prosperity and investor returns have been pushed to the back of the corporate purpose bus in favour of ESG via this carrot/stick style incentive based play. 

ESG is a social/political action that has been embedded within the business world, yet it comes at a cost and is also subject to manipulation. As an example, Enron has a higher ESG score then TWITTER under Musk, which begs the question – how tilted are the three pillars that makes up ESG, or is it just pseudo whimsical?

There ‘may’ be a longer game being played via ESG. One hypothetical plays out like this: find a product of value, devalue that product via a seemingly altruistic motive, then when the value drops swoop in and ‘rescue’ the value holders, many of whom have already lost some of their wealth; finally change the ESG score so the original value returns and then sell the stocks that were bought low and then sell them on the new high. This is the inverse of a ‘pump and dump scheme’, perhaps a new framing is required, such as ‘drop and pop’. Regardless of the tactic the money always seems to flow in the same direction. This ‘drop and pop’ strategy can also be applied to land ownership, just cast your gaze at LA, San Francisco, Portland and Chicago.   

It is obvious to this writer that the ‘powers that are’ have little interest in continuing to maintain the rising tide mantra, all-the-while ensuring that the currently impoverished remain so and are being hobbled at the base of ladder of prosperity, regardless if it a person or a country.  Leaving this author to ask the questions, why are the globalist factions of our societies so keen not to actually help anyone outside of their own inner circle; and does the sentence ‘You will own nothing and be happy’ make more sense now?

There are two basic styles of government, top-down and bottom-up. It is hard for those in their high ivory tower to lean out the window and see how those below are doing, while it is quit easy for a man on the ground to see that his neighbor needs a hand. The top-downers call the bottom-up people ‘populists’. According to Google a populist is ‘a person, especially a politician, who strives to appeal to ordinary people who feel that their concerns are disregarded by established elite groups.’ Currently being labeled a populist is supposed to be a bad thing; leaving this author to wonder why any politician would not want to appeal to the broadest base possible? 

So, when one politician hurls the insult of populism and their political opponent, do you feel politician A is in the tower or on the ground with the general population?

Writers Block II (A Monster Mash)

Typically the articles are uni-topical and this time there are just too many things in this authors head to settle on a single topic as they all keep bouncing off each other. The basic premise for this collection of thoughts is the current amount of ‘listen and believe’ that all seem very cult-like in nature. If in this writing a conclusion can be found there may be reasonable conclusion at the end.

 

On Gender Affirming Care

Gender affirming care for youths involves puberty blocking drugs, opposite gender hormone drugs, and eventually medical intervention in what is called top surgery and bottom surgery. Top surgery is the removal of healthy breast tissue or the insertion of non-functional breast simulators.

 

Bottom surgery for boys changing towards being not-boys involves the removal of a healthy penis, folding the outer skin inside the body and having the testacies tucked inside the body, thus leaving a hole between the legs that has little to no sexual pleasure sensation; thus providing a future someone simply a hole to derive their and only their sexual pleasure. For the hole to remain ‘functional’ it has to be stretched on a regular basis. The ability for reproduction has been totally eliminated.

 

Bottom surgery for girls changing towards being not-girls involves the relocation of muscle tissue, typically from the forearm, to form a non-functional penis. This once again deprives the individual of any sexual pleasure. The ability for reproduction has been totally eliminated.

 

John Locke, the de facto author on personal rights, wrote ‘Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions.’ This leaves this author to wonder how the act of providing ‘gender affirming care’ became part of the Hippocratic Oath when it mutilates those below the legally recognized age of reason; thus making those young people’s ability for reproduction totally eliminated.

 

On The Climate Change Argument

How long will this topic of fear be spoon fed to the people have to go on? This has becomes one of the longest running ‘boy who cries wolf’ scenarios I have seen in my lifetime. How many times is the target date for when the end of the world is nigh needed be changed before people will simply say – oh this thing again.

 

We know that the climate changes globally over time because we have been following the science provided by the experts for quite some time. We know that the polar icecap shifted many, many years ago when it covered most of Canada, we also know the earth cooled for about four years due to the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa due to the amount of dust flung into the air.  

 

Many people, at the time of this writing, protest against those who they have been told are adding to the climate disaster; of course this protest is in the form of a Tweet, from a ‘smart phone’ in a nicely warmed house, all the while wearing shoes with petroleum based rubber soles. Additionally, many of those who assert that public transit is part of the solution often never partake.

 

Author’s Note#1: "If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem"

 

Author’s Note#2: Nature always wins. The dinosaurs for the most part came and went and so too will mankind; so we may end up only being the means of our own demise.

 

On Illegal Aliens and Then Some

There are a number of questions and concerns being made people because other people are crossing their country’s boarder bypassing the legal means and methods. The people performing this illegal act tend to claim refugee status and typically have no paper work so that their home country can’t be determined. This has been a problem for much of the EU, the UK, the USA, and to a lesser extent Canada; though on a per capita basis the numbers may even out.

 

On the question point, the two main questions are ‘why is this allowed to happen?’ and ‘why is this not being stopped?’ In short, the government(s) messed up. Writ large, what happened is that the governments poured tones of money into research and healthcare thus extending the life of the citizenry. This means that people are now living longer than anyone expected and the old age pension funds are running out of cash. Couple this with a number of other factors such as: a) the public pension funds reached out to the markets to provide growth, b) the public pension fund managers bought into the idea that government debts bonds were safe and effective, c) interest rates rose to the point where the debt-bonds became as equally valued as the 1970s Italian Lirè, d) there has been a drop in the reproductive rates across the above mentioned countries.

 

Sticking with the earlier questions, the illegal aliens are being allowed in so that they can enter the work force as a replacement for the children that are not being conceived or those being aborted. Additionally, those who come from a second or third world country have a lower expectation of what it means to be well-off, and so the government(s) will be able to deliver less, all-the-while maintaining the same tax base. Just to put the cherry on the top, the next problem is that it takes money to enter a country illegally and typically it is the smart people that have money, meaning that the second and third world countries are suffering a ‘brain drain’, which will ensure that those countries will remain being second and third world countries.

 

On the concerns factor, while some concerns are currently being ignored by most governments the eventual result will not be able to be ignored. Here is a hypothetical for consideration: typically most people don’t pay attention to their local school board elections, and so what were to happen if there was a number of Mosques in each district and each Imam told the attendees to vote for the Muslim  man running for the school board. This author’s assertion is that the outcome can not be assumed or presumed; the now Marxist school boards will become something else and until that happens, no-one knows for sure what will happen; though surely many will guess.

 

On being Woke

Recently there have been discussions of ‘what is woke’; this is by all regards an attempt to use a lack of accurate rhetoric as a smokescreen to obfuscate the existence of a cult. The people who are ‘woke’ can’t themselves accurately describe what it means to be ‘woke’ because they use such terms as ‘Diversity, Inclusion, and Equity’ (DIE).  It is said that ‘the devil is in the details’ and this author agrees with that sentiment whole heartedly; below will be an inspection of the application of the DIE words laid out above.

 

According to Google, diversity is the practice or quality of involving people of different races, genders, social and ethnic backgrounds or sexual orientations. While it might be assumed that such a mixture of peoples would bring forth an assortment of ideas, which is not how the ‘woke’ works. To be ‘woke’ one has to follow the orthodoxy of the day and any straying away from the narrative is considered an act of apostasy with the punishment being ‘social cancellation’ including but not limited to deplatforming, job loss, but also having credit cards and bank accounts cancelled.

 

On to inclusion, here another problem crops up. The ‘woke’ don’t want you in their club if you hold an opinion that falls outside of their Overton-window. What they want is to be in your space where they can cultivate and enforce their cult like ideology. This is the second time the word ‘cult’ has been presented and the reason why is, because the ‘woke’ don’t tend to work on raw facts because they are using an appeal to emotion for the basis of their positions. It is strongly recommended that the reader go and review some debates and take note of who resorts to ad hominem attacks first, that person is the ‘woke’ person versus the person with the facts. Will the ‘woke’ embrace Italy or force Italy to embrace them?

 

Finally we reach equity; this is where the outcome is the same for all. In a game of reductio ad absurdum, does this mean that bra manufacturers will only need to make a single size of bra for all women, or would the progressives allow some diversity on the front? The only way for equity to work is if some people are taken from while other people are given to and when money is printed in the name of a cause will spur on inflation simply causing everyone to simply be made dirt poor or worse.

 

Messaging and Isolating forces Believing

He who controls the past controls the future and he who controls the present controls the past. The Canadian Government’s weather website, https://weather.gc.ca, stopped providing historical temperature data beyond 2013. Consider the lock-downs and other mandates imposed upon citizens in many countries under the guise of ‘trust the experts’ and ‘follow the science’; of course the science was never provided and the fallout will be felt for generations. Info-Note, the suicide attempt rate for trans-people is around 40%. FYI in the USSR Western NEWS was banned as a means of control.
